Are there any runners in VWRT interested in helping for a couple hours at the Mooseberry Stampede?
This is a mountain bike race in the Matanuska Greenbelt (CMT, UAF Farm, KBSRA) area.
Date: Saturday, June 13
Time: about 12:30-3:30 (at latest).
Job description:
Competitors start at CMT trailhead and a sweeper follows the last racer, as soon as sweeper goes
through, volunteers can pick up markers and leave. We need people along the course to be sure the bikers don't go off track, esp. in the farm fields.
More information/background:
We'll have Matanuska Creamery ice cream for racers and volunteers! Also
trying to get some other local agriculture products to call attention to
agriculture and history of the area since the course goes through the UAF Farm
and race is on Colony Days.
For those not familiar with the race, it was started in 2008 as a means
of calling attention to the connectivity of the trails in the area by
having a race through 3 of the 4 land managers properties.

post" program and trail work / equipment.
